Nested AutoshapesL: Display Several Pairs Of Boxes, Which Consist Of A Descriptor Box And A Value Box
Apr 18, 2006
I have a problem when using autoshapes. Above a display of columns of data, which are of different widths, I need to display several pairs of boxes, which consist of a descriptor box and a value box. If I use formatting in cells, I am constrained to use the width of the columns below. So I will be using autoshape rectangles. No limit on box widths and I can link each one to a cell to send text to them. So far so good.
However, I would like to contain a group of these box pairs within another autoshape. When I do this, if I fill the outer autoshape with colour, I have the choice of making the colour solid, which means you can't see the inside box pairs at all, or semitransparent, which allows the boxes to loom through a fog of the outer colour. What I would like is for the inner boxes to show properly, and fill only the space between the inner boxes and the rim of the outer autoshape
I need to display FALSE in cell A5 where cell A1 displays the words "completed", "cancelled", "Rejected" or "Resolved" AND do not have a corresponding date in cell A2. If there is a date in A2 - I want to display true.
However, if A1 displays the words "Approved", "Submitted for Approval" "In Development" or "App for IA" I want A5 to display True where there is a date in A2 and a False where there is no date in A2.
I have ranges that are added (E11,E14,E16,E18) if no exemptions exist (my check boxes). I have IF statements with two check boxes. If one checkbox is selected a seperate calculation is performed and the result is placed in cell AH49. My other check box places it's formula in cell AH50. But if I check both boxes I want the value from cell AH52 to display. However, it doesn't display, it gives the value from cell AH49. Is the code wrong?
What I am trying to do is display my output in currency format. The catch is that the values I am using are not from cells, they are from text boxes that are locked on a user form. The first text box is a base rate with a value of "$2000.00". Second comes a quantity text box with an integer value of let's say "3". Last comes a markup rate which is a text box with a rate of ".10". The calculation is fine, it although it returns "$6600" when it is critical that I display the two decimal places at the end. Here is my code for the calculation:
I have a large range of data and on each row the cells contain either 0, 1, No or another word. I would like to display the other word at the start but im really stuck on how to do it. This other word can change on each row but each specific row will only have one word. I can post a sample spreadsheet if necessary.
I have thousands of drawings listed in colums and each in the row has revisions P01 to P10 for Proposal and C01 to C10 For Construction. Is there a way of getting the highest revision of all listed in a row without turning them into numbers when P is older than C , but 1 is older than 10? MAX function doesnt count when value consists of both - number and letter.
Manualy selecting the highes revision will cost me weeks... and brain damage.. as I have thousands of drawings and more are coming...
I'm trying to find a way to create an excel sheet for my company. It will be used to import into our CMDB. Its for computers(ID) and their monitors(LINKED TO) We have made 3 rows: ID, CHECK and LINKED TO which consist of the ID's of each computer and the attached monitor. The CHECK row is where we put the word "OK" if that computer is physically present at that location. After this list was made, we decided NOT to link the monitors to the computers, so afterwards we will delete the row LINKED TO.
What i need to do now, in order to not have to seek every monitor manually, is to have a formula which looks up an id (i.e. WBE01111) in the LINKED TO row, and if that one exists in the ID row, it will place the word "OK" in the CHECK row.
Example: (with WBE01111 being a monitor attached to computer WBE03333)
[ID]_____________[CHECK]______[LINKED TO] WBE03333________ OK _________WBE01111 WBE09999________ OK ________ WBE08888 WBE01111________(**)_________
**=formula must put OK here
So the WBE01111(monitor) below [LINKED TO] exists in the [ID] row, i want the formula to see that, and put OK below [CHECK] for WBE01111
I was wondering why a pivot table will allow you to tick and untick pivot items that are not visible?
My pivot tables have a lot of data and someone may wish to only see the pivot items that are shown in the pivot table in its currrent view. Is there a way in VB to achieve this?
In my attached example when you suntick the Media 'TV' then look in the 'Channels' drop down you can still see the tick boxes for TV channels 'ITV' and 'TV_BBC1' (I know why they are still ticked, I'd just like them not to be visible).
I am developing a spreadsheet with numerous information on our different suppliers offices in the country for each of our outlets. I am tryin to define a way to do the following:
If a colleague selects a company another list will appear with the region and when the region is selected a list of the offices will appear.
I'm not sure if it's possible to do this, but I have three lists of data. One is a complete list (for example, the numbers 1-25). The next list is a subset of the complete list (e.g., 1,3,5,7,9). Attached to these (the subset list) is another list (let's say letters, so A goes with 1, B goes with 3, etc). I want to physically move the paired entries from Lists 2 & 3 so that List 2 matches up with List
I want to store a list of strings in an array with their position so that I can sort them alphabetically and then be able to put them back in their original order again e.g.
John 1 Charlie 2 Paul 3 Andy 4 etc,
So when they are alphabetized (is that a word?) they become
Andy 4 Charlie 2 John 1 Paul 3
My plan was to store them in an array, but I can't think how to do it. In python, I would just make a list of tuples, what is the best way to do this in VBA?
I need to complete what would seem a fairly simple incrementing task but I'm not getting the results that I'm looking for. I don't know much about macros so would prefer not having to use one but I'm willing to try if it's not too complicated.
I'm using Excel 2010 on a PC. For several projects, I need to increment cells that contain text and numbers. The column contains data in a cell (A1), followed by a blank cell (A2), then cell A3 contains new data followed by a blank in A4, etc. What I need to do is 1) copy the exact data in A1 to A2 and then 2) increment the number used in A1/A2 by 1 in A3, copy that into A4, and the pattern repeats down the column.
Here is an example of what I have in column A: Test_01 [blank cell] Test_02 [blank cell] Test_03 [blank cell] etc.
This is what I want as a result. Test_01 Test_01 Test_02 Test_02 Test_03 Test_03 etc.
Do I need to save the data in the column as text, general, or numbers? Is there some function that would make incrementing the data possible as I've outlined above?
I would like to know if its possible to extract just the even/odd pairs from a number.
Exp. I have the number 123 in cell A1, and would like to extract the even/odd pair, which in this case would be 13, the cell A2. I would like to be able to do this without the use of "Isodd" or "iseven" functions.
I am looking for a code which will check and display the Maximum Occurrences of pairs of 2 Characters.
In the attached file I tried to write some code but it seems to be wrong.
For your convinience, I entered the reuslts in a table (hopefully not mistaken). The code should display a MsgBox saying that "The pair 'ab' was found 6 times in A1.
The string, in A1, can be any string in any length.
I am trying to analyse a set of variables in my dataset.
The variables I have are numbers which are organised into a single column.
I want to count the number of times different variable pairings occur within my data.
An example dataset of mine is: 1,2,4,2,1,3,5,3,2,1
As the dataset contains 5 variables (1,2,3,4,5) the potential combinations are: 1,1; 1,2; 1,3; 2,1; etc.. with 25 in total.
I want Excel to move through this column starting with the first two cells and step down 1 cell each time and then tell me the number of times each of the combination occurs.
I have a database with 6 columns in play (there are actually other columns but they are not relevant). I'll call the columns A through F. I would like to be able to match certain counterpart rows together, do a sort placing the counterpart rows adjacent to one another, and then count how many pairs I have. (Some rows will have no counterparts.)
I basically need to devise a formula or script that pairs together two rows that fit the following criteria:
1) The rows are identical in Columns B, C, D, and E. 2) The rows are not identical in Column F (i.e., one half of the pair should have "yes" and the other half should have "no") 3) The rows are as close together as possible according to the date sequence in Column A. For example, Row 1 should pair with Row 6, and Row 5 should pair with Row 7. Row 1 should not pair with Row 7, and Row 5 should not pair with Row 6. **This criterion seems tricky because R5 and R6 would technically fit the requirement for pairing, were it not for the fact that R1 comes earlier in the sequence.**
I have a map with several waypoints and would like to find the distance between any of these two waypoints. Sounds simple, but I have having an issue with the later parts of the excel file. Let me explain further.
There are over 100 waypoints on this map we have. Each waypoint has an, seemingly arbitrary, X-coordinate and Y-Coordinate. However, if you divide the coordinates by [X], they turn into miles. It should go without saying that finding the distance between two waypoints is rather simple mathematically, but I having an issue figuring out how to pull two random waypoints and having the distance automatically calculated.
So far, I just have column A with the waypoint name and with column B and C having the X and Y coordinates respectively. Is there anyway I can create some sort of call function that when two waypoint values are entered it would automatically calculate the distances?
How do I express the following as a formula for range f2:h2:
case 1 if any number is equal to 0 or 5, then 1 if any number is equal to 1 or 6, then 2 if any number is equal to 2 or 7, then 3 if any number is equal to 3 or 8, then 4 if any number is equal to 4 or 9, then 5
I need to pair up 20 people in sequence for a workshop, so I number the people and can rotate people numbered 1-10 with 11-20 easy enough, but when it gets to pairing 1-10 together in pairs and 11-20 in pairs.
Is there a formula I could use in Excel to work out the easiest pairing for me?
I have a string of n pairs and want to check various combination of that string. Example: Pairs 58 78 15 Since I know I have 3 pairs (but it can be 2 or 4), I know the number of combination I want to test, ie 2 power 3 = 8 combinations. How can I program a code creating the various strings, ie 587815, 587851, 588715, 588751, 857815, 857851, 858715, 858751 ?
This is what I have so far (not much):
Public unique_pair 'number of pairs provided by another macro Public mystring 'provided by another macro Sub make_guess()
Dim number_of_combination, i number_of_combination = 0
number_of_combination = 2 ^ unique_pair For k = 1 To number_of_combination
I have a spreadsheet with 14, or maybe 16, or maybe 40 names in column B.
A1 = 1 B1 = JOE CITIZEN A2 = 2 B2 = JANE PERSON ... A17 = 3 B17 = JACK DOE
and so on...
I want to randomly assign these names to pairs using a macro button, and basing it on the number of players (C1)
So if C1 is 12, I'd like the function behind the macro button to come up with 6 * 2 numbers (2 and 11, or 4 and 7,
all completely random, but within the 12 specified in C1) and write these random values in Range D1:E6 (if C1 is 18, then the range to write in would expand to D1:E9).
I don't know enough about writing code to be able to pull this off .
I have created a table that has working hours of staff members over many weeks. Week number as column headings (1 to 52) and staff name as Row headings. E.g a row may be
John Smith, 37, 37, 37, 37, 64 (commas to show seperate cells)
How would I go about using conditional formatting so that the formatting changes according to the sum of the values in each pair of cells?
I need to add the total hours of every two weeks for some staff and change the fill colour of both cells accordingly to highlight which weeks staff have worked too many/few hours.
So (B1+C1) would be a pair, the total would decide which fill colour is used on both B1 and C1, and then (D1+E1) would be the next pair and so on.
I have tried using 'a formula to determine which cells to format' and placing =(B1 + C1) = 74 and making it fill the cells green but this appears to be doing (B1+C1) as the first pair and then (C1+D1) as the second and changing the format for the first cell only.
I've managed to get my macro to work ok - but what I want to do now is to get it to loop through more columns. Currently it looks for email addresses in column AH (which will always be the same) then it looks for a "yes" in columnAB and if there is no "SENT" in column T then it sends an email,after which it adds the word "SENT" to column T. What I want t do is for the macro to then run on columns AC+U, AD+V, AE+W and AF+X. So basically it will loop through one column to the right each time for a total of 5 pairs of columns
So I have a spreadsheet that has a Title in Cell A1, then entries in B1, D1, F1, H1, J1, etc... with empty cells between.
What I would like to do is copy those entries to the right, i.e. B1 into C1, D1 into E1, F1 into H1, but all the way along because in my master sheet there are a lot of columns.
Is there any way to find pairs of numbers from lotto data ,starting from the highest to the lowest for the full 24 pairs? It does not matter if excel formula or Vb code.T
